1) Which area of Milan to choose to stay? DUOMO

Let’s start directly with one of the best areas where to stay in the city of Meneghina, which refers to the area around the Duomo, the monumental symbol, the city’s Gothic Cathedral. Nearby, there are the most interesting areas from all points of view and especially from the tourist point of view. We talk about areas like Vittorio Emanuele II Gallery, the Royal Palace and the famous La Scala Theater.

The most visited tourist attractions in the city are concentrated in this neighborhood. It is the best area to stay in Milan if you want to stay in the heart of the city and if you don’t mind paying a little extra to be close to everything you need. Another fundamental thing is to find a hotel close to the subway station, because it is the best way to visit the city: getting around easily with public transport. Among the best hotels in this zone selected for value for money and with the most positive comments, are The Square Duomo and The Street Duomo.

2) Which area of Milan to choose to stay? BRERA AND MONTENAPOLEONE

Another neighborhood to choose from is definitely the Brera and Montenapoleone area. A famous place for the streets and exclusive fashion and art galleries. The most famous one is the Brera Art Gallery, where the masterpieces of Raffaello and Mantegna are also exhibited.

It is considered the Fashion Quadrilateral, where you will find Via Montenapoleone or Via della Spiga, where are some of the most exclusive stores, with names like Versace, Armani, Dolce & Gabbana and Valentino. It is a safe, sophisticated and very central area, and is one of the ideal neighborhoods to stay if you want to be centrally located (without crowds of tourists) and want to breathe art, luxury and nightlife. Among the best hotels in Brera and Montenapoleone selected for value for money and with the most positive comments, are Bulgari Hotel and Ritter Hotel.

3) Which area of Milan to choose to stay? NAVIGLI

Another great choice for those who want to stay in Milan is the romantic area of Navigli, which hosts the Senigallia Fair every Saturday, an open-air flea market and, on the last Sunday of the month, the famous Antiques Market.

It is a good area to sleep in Milan if you like nightlife and if you want to stroll until later. In the Navigli area, there are many markets, clothing, handicrafts, vintage stores, handicraft stores and narrow streets. It is a safe area, very central and a little cheaper than the other two. It is easy to understand why this area of Navigli is the ideal part to stay in Milan for those who come to the Lombard capital and are willing to endure a bit of noise to experience more of the true taste of the city.

This is the perfect neighborhood for shopping lovers to shop and, in the end, eat in one of the many restaurants, or have a few drinks, in the many options existing there.
